Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: When a man dies, his
acts come to an end, but three, recurring charity, or knowledge
(by which people) benefit, or a pious son, who prays for him (for
the deceased).

I heard Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) while he was on the pulpit
speaking about charity, to abstain from asking others for some
financial help and about begging others, saying, "The upper hand
is better than the lower hand. The upper hand is that of the
giver and the lower (hand) is that of the beggar."
